I hit the Ebay jackpot!

Ok.... I know I am pathetic and it's not that exciting but...

Hubby is redoing the kitchen and building us cabinets. When all is done we will have 12 drawers and I have been looking for hardware... slides for them. I couldn't believe how much these things cost! Lowes here only carries to 18 inch one and they are cheapy crappy ones. Shipping from ebay is ridiculous some idiots wants $15 to ship ONE set, almost a $100 for lots of 10. Nice ones are really expensive when you factor in needing 12 of them.

I just bought 10 pair for $59 with shipping. They are heavy duty ball bearing SELF CLOSING ones
I'm stoked. I thought I was paying at LEAST $300 for plain old slides in the size I need. self closing ones? I feel like I stole them

That's great tara! It's always nice when something like that comes along and happens...yay you saved 240 dollars and got better hardware..congrats!

Yay, Tara!



I know that feeling well! When we built, I got every single bathroom accessory on ebay. I made out like a bandit. Each set was towel bar, tp holder and towel ring. Oddly enough, the set I got the cheapest ($9.99 or something!) is my favorite, and it's in the master bath.

That's awesome!
I am having some of my bottom cabinets ripped out, and drawers put in, and the slides ARE expensive!

I would be soooo excited. That's awesome. I want self closing stuff! Scott leaves everything open all the time so there's no room to even move around. Plus I must hit my head on a cabinet door at least twice a year because of that.

that sounds like quite the jackpot! did you get some mypoints from that?

Good question! Hope you remembered to go through MyPoints, Tara! Sweetens the deal even more!

I did do mypoints 4 points on the $1 so an easy couple hundred points
Karen- you actually have to start them but just a little nudge and they close all the way without slamming. I am sure they will be fine for my kids who at least make half an effort, the large one I am not too convinced about remembering to give that little nudge. We have lived in this house for 5 years now and he still can't find the bright green laundry basket that hasn't moved.
